Trivia: Director Tom Holland was asked to direct this movie following his success with the first movie. Actors Chris Sarandon, Amanda Bearse and Stephen Geoffrey's were all offered to reprise their character's roles. All four had turned them down. Tom and Chris were both working together on the movie Child's Play. Amanda didn't like the material and was busy appearing in the TV show Married...With Children. Stephen was offered the choice to be in this movie or 976-Evil. Stephen, like Amanda, didn't like the material and hated the script and chose the latter movie. Only William Ragsdale and Roddy McDowall appeared in this movie as their original characters.
Fright Night Part 2 (1988)
1 trivia entry
Directed by: Tommy Lee Wallace
Starring: Roddy McDowall, William Ragsdale, Julie Carmen, Traci Lind
Other mistake: When Regine becomes the new host of Fright Night, she appears on video monitors and Peter Vincent is watching her on TV while in a bar. Cameras use mirrors, so she shouldn't have appeared on the monitors or on the television at all.

Suggested correction: Most cameras don't use mirrors. Only DSLR/SLR cameras do, which allows you to use a viewfinder. Other cameras, camcorders, and television cameras don't need mirrors.
Peter Vincent: First we need some holy water, and some communion wafers.
Alex: Communion wafers? The stuff you get from the church? Am I going to hell for this?
